On May 13, we celebrated Nurses Week and Mother’s Day by hosting a brunch at Good Shepherd Shelter. We provided food, live music, donations, raffle prizes and entertainment for fifty women and their children.

Happy #NursesWeek2017 — a week long celebration of the most trusted profession in America, nursing! This Nurses Week, UNAC/UHCP members from all over Southern California are giving back to our communities by donating their time to many worthy causes.

UNAC/UHCP formed a homeless women’s outreach coalition with Labor Community Services AFL CIO, United Way of Greater Los Angeles, Highly Favored: A Blessing to Others, and G.O.A.L. Advocacy Foundation to help make a difference in the lives of those who are among the most vulnerable members of society.

Following years of advocacy work, UNAC/UHCP registered nurses and health care professionals will finally see their efforts come to fruition with the implementation of new workplace violence prevention regulations on April 1.

UNAC/UHCP applauds the withdrawal of the Affordable Care Act repeal legislation in the US House of Representatives on March 24. We remain vigilant should lawmakers decide to introduce another repeal bill in the future which would cost millions of Americans their health care.
